What is Your Face Shape?

The first thing here is to check your exact face shape. And only then can you decide on what kind of earrings best suit your face shape. The most common shapes are:

Round: Face shape with equal width and height and the corners are not sharp.
Oval: Slightly longer than broad in its occipital region and there is a slight concave curvature of its forehead and chin.
Square: Forehead width as well as width at cheeks and through the jawline should be equal; the jaw should be powerful.
Heart-shaped: Broad at the top of the forehead and gradually becoming small at the chin.
Long/Rectangular: Bigger and broader face with extra length.

Chandbali Earrings for Different Face Shapes

1. Round Face Shape

Goal: Best to make the face longer and more distinctive.

Best Chandbali Styles: Select the Chandbalis that are lengthier and feature sharper edges. It is also important to note that for elongated face shapes, you should go for designs with a teardrop or pointed bottom. Also, avoid, wear, dress, or styles that are too round or circular as you will only enhance your rounded face further.

Example: Chandbali earrings with a pointed bottom or a longer style at the bottom can actually make your face look longer.

2. Oval Face Shape

Goal: Balances and harmonise the face shape

Best Chandbali Styles: Chandbali will complement any type of face, especially oval, however, you can try new designs with bolder and more complex patterns that you like. It will be best to wear modest, medium-sized Chandbalis that are uniquely designed and studded with gems and stones.

Example: Select a pair of rounds and or angular frames, this will bring out the facial features since they complement each other.

3. Square Face Shape

Goal: To round off the sharp corners of the face & draw some curves to match that sharp jaw.

Best Chandbali Styles: Look out for more tender edges i.e. make sure that the earrings you choose are rounder rather than sharp and angular. It’s also important to avoid geometric shapes such as squares and highly angular lines since these will tend to exaggerate the angles of the jawline. What looks nice are earrings that are round in some type of form like a flower or crescent.

Example: As your face is sharp-featured, you should grab a pair of Chandbalis with round, floral engravings.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Goal: To correct relative proportions and make the lower part of the face wider than the upper to compensate for the narrow chin and the wider forehead respectively.

Best Chandbali Styles: Choose earrings that are thicker at the end than at the start such as the teardrop or chandelier style Chandbalis. These designs will correct the proportions of your face and attract eyes away from that broader forehead.

Example: Chandbalis with the base and with the tip wider will add beauty to your heart-shaped face.

5. Long/Rectangular Face Shape

Goal: To create the illusion of width and significantly reduce the face length.

Best Chandbali Styles: Chandbalis most preferably should be shorter and wider ones that contribute width more than the length. If you want to make the lateral dimensions more significant, then you should opt for a design with the presence of horizontally oriented segments, or wider curves in the form of crescents. Lastly, since it is also advisable to give a small face the illusion of an even bigger size, one should not wear clothing or accessories that would make the face all the longer, for example, dangly styles.

Example: Puffy Chandbalis, which are wide and crescent-shaped with a horizontal design will provide exactly the amount of width that will be apt.

Consider Your Neck Length

If you have a short neck, apparently you shouldn’t go for very large Chandbalis that might seem over the neck area. You have to watch out for the length of the earrings and check out how they go with the long or short hairdos.

Match with Your Outfit

Chandbali is very comfortable and can be worn with Indian saris as well as with Western-styled dresses. About the selection of the pair, it is advisable to consider the nature of the occasion and the type of neckline of the outfit to better complement your clothes.

Balance with Other Jewellery

If you are planning to wear a big necklace then it would be more appropriate to wear simple Chandbali so that things don’t look cluttered. On the other hand, if your necklace is tender or you are not wearing one at all, then wear the statement Chandbalis that will let it glow.
